Student Success Spotlight Meet Nick from Caryn Elementary! Just last year, Nick arrived in the United States without knowing any English. Through hard work, determination, and the support of his teachers and friends, he’s made incredible progress in mastering the language. Now, Nick is paying it forward by helping his teacher translate for a new student. He comes to school every day with a big smile and a positive outlook, inspiring everyone around him.
STEAM at Caryn Elementary was a blast! Students worked on a STEAM project where they made boats out of foil and tested how many pennies they could load onto the boat before it sank. A great way to mix creativity with science!

Spending too much time on screens can interfere with language development, critical thinking, and overall brain health. Experts suggest that excessive screen time might narrow a child's focus, limiting their opportunities for exploration and learning. It can also affect their reading skills, attention span, and even sleep, as screens used late at night can disrupt melatonin levels and delay bedtime.
Meet Michael Molina, a 2nd grader in Mrs. Fahres' class, who was chosen as the "Scientist of the Week"! Here he is wowing his classmates with the "Erupting Volcano" experiment, using baking soda, water, and vinegar. Each student will have the chance to take on this exciting role, making science both fun and educational. Great job, Michael—keep exploring and inspiring!
